GTA 6 Leaker Posts Playable Footage, Taunts Rockstar With In-Game Bullet Graffiti

A leaker calling themselves CyberLeek has posted what appears to be playable footage of Grand Theft Auto VI, weeks before the game's official release date of November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The footage shows a character firing bullets into a wall to spell the word "LEEK" — a taunt directed at Rockstar Games. (GameSpot)

The clip, which circulated on social media on August 20, 2026, shows Jason Duval — one of GTA 6's two lead characters — shooting at a wall, with bullet marks spelling out the leaker's name. Another segment shows a blue-and-yellow prop plane flying over what looks like Vice City, the fictional Florida-inspired setting. A third moment shows the game pausing while the player cycles through radio stations, including V-Rock playing "For What It's Worth" by Stevie Nicks, Back Country Radio playing "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell, and Symphony FM.

Push Square reported on August 19 that the leaker has "an actual build of the game" and is still posting clips, a detail that separates this from earlier GTA 6 leaks — this is not a trailer or a screenshot, but what looks like someone running the game itself. IGN reported the same day that another leaked clip showed taser gameplay and a few seconds of a cutscene. (Push Square; IGN)

Rockstar Games has been hit with additional leaks as gameplay and assets circulated on social media, according to GamesIndustry.biz. The publisher has not yet publicly commented on the CyberLeek footage. (GamesIndustry.biz)

CyberLeek, described by Tom's Hardware as a notorious hacker, has placed advertisements for memecoins — a type of cryptocurrency based on internet jokes — on the leaked videos. The leaker also claimed they would release the ending for the character Lucia Caminos and ran an online poll asking whether they should. (GameSpot; Tom's Hardware)

For fans waiting for GTA 6, the concern is straightforward: if the leaker has a playable build, story spoilers — including the ending — could land online well before November 19. IGN noted that commentators have raised exactly that worry. (IGN)

Rockstar's own plans for revealing the game are already set. The publisher announced an official "Extended Look" trailer for August 27, debuting first on Netflix at 3 PM ET and then on Rockstar's YouTube channel at 9 PM ET. Netflix maintains a title page for the presentation. (GameSpot; Netflix)

So the week looks like this: an unauthorised build in the wild, a leaker auctioning story beats, and an official showcase seven days away. The game still releases November 19.
